Our Ladies XI travelled to Stockport on Sunday to take on Stockport County LFC, with a win under our belt the team knew to try maintain their winning streak and to push hard for a win!
Kick off at Stockport Sport Village, and away we go with a shot on target 4 minutes in from Pierrepont; our ladies are coming out strong and with intent. With brilliant attacks on goal in the first quick 20 minutes from Millard, Pierrpont, Watson, Biggins and Jex-Oldfield it is clear that Barnsley are in this game and fighting for a goal - each player creating chances or shots that keep the Stockport keeper on her toes.
GOAAALLLL at 28 Minutes! 1 nil to Barnsley! Pierrepont chips into the box and it is deflected passed the keeper and into the net for an own goal! With a goal so early in the match this gave our girls the confidence to really press on and attack.
At 42 mins unfortunately Snelson suffers an injury, however bravely bounces up again and rejoins the game - brilliant perseverance, grit and determination.
Half time rolls in and our Barnsley women are winning 1 - 0 Stockport LFC.
The two teams arrive back on pitch after their half time talks, and it is clear to see that Stockport are coming out to press for the equaliser. Just ten minutes in to the second half Stockport have a dangerous free kick, which Barnsley manages to defend.
After a few more attempts on goal from Pierrepont and a free kick for Barnsley, although we are attacking well we are struggling to get that second goal.. more and more attempts from the likes of Csomor and Millard, but we still haven't found the back of the net.
At 92 minutes we subbed on Hurdiss for her time to shine and help push the last few minutes of play.
Full Time Stockport 0 Barnsley 1! A brilliant display of our attacking skills including great bouts of defending from Jodie Snelson - A superb display.
Congratulations to our Barnsley Womens First XI! Last 4 league games unbeaten, 4 clean sheets and 3 wins!
PLAYER OF THE MACTH: JODIE SNELSON!
